What is the Michelin Guide Hotels List?

While the Michelin Guide is famous for rating restaurants, it also curates a selective list of hotels around the world that offer more than just a place to sleep. These hotels stand out for their exceptional design, thoughtful service, and unique guest experience. They are not ranked with stars but are carefully chosen by experts to help travellers discover memorable stays across the globe.

In 2024, the Michelin Guide Philippines made its debut with six hotels. In 2025, five more DOT-accredited hotels were added, bringing the country into the spotlight ahead of the Michelin Guide’s first official Philippine edition launching in 2026.

Here’s your complete guide to all 11 Michelin Guide-approved hotels in the Philippines.
